The Saudi government underscored on Tuesday its support to ensuring the success of the intra-Yemeni consultations that kicked off in Riyadh on Tuesday.

The ministers hailed during the meeting the efforts of the Saudi-led Arab coalition in protecting global energy supplies from hostile attacks.

They were briefed on the assessment of the armed drone and ballistic missile attacks carried out by the Iran-backed Houthi militias against civilian locations and vital facilities in the Kingdom.

They called on the world and its organizations to stand against these attacks and all the sides that perpetrate and support them.

The Yemen consultations are being hosted by the Gulf Cooperation Council and will conclude on April 7.

The ministers also tackled the latest developments in the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. They underlined the Gulf support to holding dialogue between the warring parties to reach a peaceful settlement to the crisis and averts economic, humanitarian and political repercussions on the world.

King Salman extended his sincere condolences and sympathy to the president and the families of the deceased.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, sent A-Menfi a similar cable.

Experts have started analyzing the black boxes recovered from the jet crash in Türkiye that killed eight people, including western Libya’s military chief, the Turkish defense ministry said Thursday. The probe was being done in coordination with Libyan officials.

The private jet with Gen. Mohammed Ali Ahmed Al-Haddad, four other military officers and three crew members crashed on Tuesday after taking off from Ankara, killing everyone on board.

Libyan officials said the cause of the crash was a technical malfunction on the plane.
